Someone mentioned slavery in another thread and it got me thinking. Back when I was in junior high (20 years ago), was when we first started learning about slavery. We also only had one black kid in the whole school. I remember a few other kids telling me that we should all apologize for the whole slavery thing and I also remember quickly refusing. My family came to this country a few generations ago. Slavery had already been illegal for at least 100 years. My family was also not rich and powerful back when slavery was legal either. Meaning that I nor the people in my family that came and went before me had anything to do with slavery. I am pretty sure that those that are in power now are of the old money types whos' families did have slaves back then and maybe even a few in foreign countries now. I owe nothing to black people, other than to those that came up with good ideas (inventions) and that goes for all races. I wish that these racist groups that blame white people for everything would stfu and attack those that actually had something to do with it. What do you all think?

The black people today are not being enslaved, the white people today are not enslaving black people.
Any slavery that happens nowadays, and is being caught, is being punished depending on country law.
Black people are not suffering from slavery anymore.
The only thing that should be and keep happening, are the history lessons about it, simply to raise awareness and to make sure it's not gonna happen again.

So first at Americans, what do YOU have to apologize about to black people, nowadays??
Like if you are not racist against black people apart from not having slaves, you have nothing to apologize for.
